Hmm..another radio relay bunker in MT on eBay!!!!!
Sticks out like a sore thumb on that flatland but I’ll bet it’d be alot easier to get a well there than on top of that 500′ knob…….

It would stick out, but it looks like you’d be able to see anyone coming before they got too close.
i would imagine it probably has a pretty secure power supply also. and if not you have a 120 foot tower to mount windmills on.
Not enough land attached to sustain you. Not enough land to have your own firing range. Deeded access? When TSHTF, who says that rancher won’t just decide to close his fences and repel all boarders?
It has a couple of other advantages, too. For one, it’s a lot closer to me. And a perimeter defense on a one-acre lot is a lot easier to set up.
But – there isn’t a lot of natural protection, and the well might be more difficult than you think – that’s out in the dry-farming country that went broke during the Dust Bowl years. There is damn little water out there – about 13 inches in annual rainfall (compared to 17 for Missoula and 19 in Bozeman) and little or nothing in the way of natural watercourses that run year-round. The ground is deceptively textured; you could hide a thousand Lakota warriors (or 100 Spec Forces troops) two rises over and never know they were there until they were in your lap. It’s a pretty bleak place.
The way the land folds out there, they could be up your ass before you reached down to scratch. Ever visited the Little Bighorn?
Can’t say as I have. It sounds like you’re pretty familiar with that part of the world, though.
